In autumn 1943, the Germans began to build a launch base for their V-1 rocket in the woods near the French town Ardouval, 20 km. south of Dieppe. There were countless such simple sites scattered across northern France. The pilotless planes were supplied by rail from production factories in Germany and were prepared and fired from a launch pad at each site.

Once launched, the V1 rocket could not be controlled so the launch ramp had to be pointing directly toward the target; the ramp at Ardouval was pointing straight to London, 200 km. to the northwest. As with most other V1 sites, the location of Val Ygot was known to the Allies and it was subjected to numerous bomb attacks between December 1943 until the Germans left there in June 1944.
